    The Monthly Labor Report's first broadcast after the Nov. 5 election:
    Michael Zweig, economist and labor historian, discusses the role labor must play in the resistance to the fascist anti-worker
    agenda of the incoming Trump administration. Prof. Zweig performs a post mortem on Kamala Harris' loss; and analyzes the effect
    of a possible mass deportation immigrants and of sweeping tariffs on the working class. Zweig states: "The best organizer is the boss,"
    referring to the push-back from working people that is sure to come when the harsh realities of the incoming administration come into focus.
